Travel to Luxor in a modern, air-conditioned vehicle. The drive from Safaga takes approximately three hours.

Upon arrival, visit Karnak Temple, one of the largest religious complexes in the world. Built over many centuries, from the early Middle Kingdom through the Greco-Roman period, the temple is renowned for its magnificent Hypostyle Hall, featuring an awe-inspiring forest of massive columns.

Next, visit Luxor Temple, a magnificent monument associated with the reign of Amenhotep III and renowned for its remarkably preserved ancient Egyptian artwork. You can also choose to enjoy the spectacular Sound and Light Show at Karnak Temple before spending the night in Luxor.

Day 2: Luxor's West Bank

After enjoying breakfast at your hotel, head to the West Bank of the Nile to see the two colossal statues of Amenhotep III, known as the Colossi of Memnon.

Continue to the Valley of the Kings, where you will explore three magnificent tombs selected from among the royal tombs carved deep into the desert rock. These tombs feature elaborate decorations and fascinating treasures associated with the pharaohs' beliefs about the afterlife.

After lunch at a good local restaurant in Luxor, visit the impressive Temple of Queen Hatshepsut. Dedicated to Hatshepsut, one of ancient Egypt's most remarkable female pharaohs, the temple rises in a series of terraces and blends harmoniously with the surrounding limestone cliffs.

At the end of the excursion, your guide will accompany you back to your cruise ship at Safaga Port.
